Boat Decals & Marine Graphics
Frequently Asked Questions
For the best adhesion and longevity, we strongly recommend applying graphics while the boat is hauled out (dry-docked). The hull surface must be completely dry and free from salt residue or "tea staining." If the decals are applied above the waterline, we can occasionally perform installations at the dock, provided the weather conditions are stable.
No. When using our professional-grade cast vinyl and correct application techniques, the decals act as a protective layer for your hull. When it comes time for removal or rebranding, the vinyl can be cleanly stripped off without damaging the underlying finish, provided the original paint was in good condition.
A boat decal usually refers to specific elements like a name, logo, or registration number. A boat wrap involves covering the entire hull surface (or a large portion of it) with vinyl. Decals are more cost-effective for simple branding, while wraps offer total protection and a complete color change.
The best care involves rinsing the decals with fresh water after every outing to remove salt crystals. Avoid using high-pressure jet washes directly against the edges of the vinyl, and steer clear of harsh abrasive cleaners or solvent-based chemicals.
Standard production for custom boat names and logos is 3–5 business days. Installation time varies by the size of the project, but most decals can be professionally applied within 4–6 hours once the hull is prepped.
We are well-versed in the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) requirements. We ensure your registration numbers meet the mandatory height, stroke width, and contrast specifications to ensure your vessel remains compliant.
Pricing for professional boat decals depends on the total dimensions, the complexity of the design, and the type of vinyl substrate required. To provide a useful reference for pleasure craft owners, a custom boat name using premium marine-grade cast vinyl typically starts from SGD $120. For larger commercial vessels or complex fleet graphics, quotes are tailored to the specific artwork and hull measurements.
